It’s hard not to be a complainer.
I admit, I have my fair share of complaints. It’s easier to see the negative in life. Searching out the positive takes effort and truth be told, many of us are too lazy for that.
What if we did work at seeing the beauty in life? What could we accomplish?
Benjamin Franklin once said,
“Any fool can criticize,condemn and complain and most fools do”
I, for one, do not wish to be a fool.
Take Winston Churchill for example. He was constantly criticized for his decisions during his time in the British government. However, his actions were found to have greatly helped Britain, especially during both World Wars. He could have given up and given in to his critics. Instead, he preserved and became one of history’s greatest leaders.
Churchill, and others like him, don’t let negativity and complaining become the order of the day. They know to search out opportunity in times of crisis and failure. They are the ones who “stay away from complaining and arguing” (Philippians 2:14). They don’t shift blame to others when a situation goes wrong.
They are the DOERS and get the job done while others let life pass them by.
Are you a fool or a doer?
